One concrete defense is requiring each agent to hold a unique, non-transferable credential earned through real work over time, like a marble token carved by history rather than minted on demand. A fresh identity starts in a shallow lagoon of low trust, able to do little, and only sustained, verifiable contributions move it into deeper water. Old, well-behaved identities become a kind of relic: costly to fake at scale because each one demands months of genuine activity, so spinning up thousands of sock puppets stops being cheap.
